This invention relates to an improved at; tachmsnt l'or locomotives bywhich the cin ders and ashes which are ,zsrried oil through theSmokestack of the locon'iotive are eollected and prevented in flyingaround to Wards the cars to the l at annoyance of the passengers; andthe irwention consists of it cinder-cllecting attccl. mt forlO'COITiOt-lVGS which comprises a closed casing divided by a transversepartition into two conipztrh inents, one compartment for collecting" theheevicr eindcrs and the other coinpsrtment for collecting the lightercindcrs and the second compartment being partlv with Water for thispurpose end comics": with the first ecinpartnn nt by adownvvsrillvextending c mrluctiog-pipc.

The first conipertment is connected by a. pipe with venn by :2. suitablemotor,

curved smolsesteck enters the ventiletor--cas- 11. at the center so thatthe products of coincoiuwctcd with the outside of the casin d andleediiigg' into the collecting-chemhei' or comp: tsncnt of the casing c.

The casing c is divided into two chambers or compertments by an uprighttransverse partition 0 which is connected with a curved and downavardlyextending pipe f, said pipe being located in the second compartment andextending below the level of e quantity of water in the same. The firstcompare ment is provided with a deflecting-diaphrsgin e for the productsof combustion conducted through pipe e in the upper part the firstcompartment. A horizontal partition 0" is near the upper part of thefirst compartment and provided with s fui'inel-sh ed up-tehe a, so thatthe products of combustion are conducted through the tip-take into theupper part of the first coinpertinent end. from the same to thedownwardly extending pipe f and The heavier particles, such as cinders,are collected in the first con'ipmtinent and removed from time to timefrom the same by means of'e hinged door c arranged near the bottom ofthe same. The lighter cii'lders and ashes are delivered through thelower part of the pipe f, below the body of water, into the secondoustion pess oil through a chimney (,i that is arranged at the center ofthe second compartment. ln'thc top oi the first eon'ipertment isarranged cover It so as to give access to the upper end of theconductingpipef for clemiing the same.

The lovi'er part of the second or watercoinpsrtznent is provided with atightlyclesing side-door c end with a. dischargecock c for permittingthe dreiningof the Water and. the cleaning of the Water-cone pertinentfrom the impurities collected therein. At the upper part of theWatercorn ertment is arranged a Weter-supply nipp e 0 having a stopcocka hose being; attached to the supply-nipple for supplying a quantity ofWater to the watcr-compertcompartment, While the products of comment,which is provided, in addition thereto,

with an indicetor i by which the level of the Water in thewaiter-coinpertinent indicated. This indicator consists of e lloat L thelower end and s. rod which guided ,mstien are forced through a curvedpipe 6 at the top part ol thewater-compartment,"as shown in Fi .3.

The ventfiator is driven in any suitable manner by an electric motor mwhich is 1 either placed on the shaft ofthe ventilating fan or sidewiseof the same, the ower oi the motor being transmitted in it e latter caseby the shaft of the electric motor to the shaft of the ventilatonfan. Aregister m is arranged in the bottom of the lair-casing so as toregulate the suction from the Smokestack the ventilating-fan serves toincrease the draft in the boiler-fines.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

1. The combination, with a locomotive: boiler, of a cinder-collectingattachment rovided with a transverse partition so as to orm twocompartments, one for collect' ing the coarser particles and the other abelt 1c and bevel gearing L from filled. with water for collectin thefine?) particles, an up-take in the first compartment, adownwardlyextending conducting pipe connecting the upper part of thefirst compartment with the lower part of the water compartment, aventilator supported on the locomotive, a motor for operating the same,a curved Smokestack connected with the center of the fan-casing, and acurved pipe for connecting the ventilatorecasing with the iirstcompartment of the cinder-collecting attachment. I

2. in a cinder co'llecting attachment for locomotives, a casing providedwith a central partition, a supply-pipe connected with the smokestackfor supplying the products of combustion to the first compartment of thecasing, a deflecting-plate below the lower end oi the supply-pipe, ahorizontal partition at the upper end of the first com-- partmentprovided Witlr an lip-take, a lownwardhr-extending pipe connecting theupper part of the first compartment with the lower part of thewater-compartment, and a chimney at the upper part of the second orwater-compartment.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, 1 have signedmy name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
